Want a brunch after your walk down into the valley? Or have about a delicious locavore dinner? Either walk down through the valley, or transit from across the street (bus 28 heading south) or drive/cab 5minutes down the road.

Fantastic cheese shop. Cheeses of all types and varieties from around the world. My favourite as they have many types of raw cheese. Many other things to snack on as well.

Parks & Nature

Hop on the Beltline Trail just off Moore Ave and descend into the verdant valley that connects to the ravine system that extends in every direction through Toronto. Start here and hike down to the Evergreen Brick Works destination.

Hike down to the Brickworks (about 10 min walk) for the Saturday (& a slightly smaller sunday version) Farmers Market. Bring your skates in the winter, ride your bike through the trails in the warmer months. Great family outing.

Drinks & Nightlife

Neighbourhood sports bar with good food and friendly service. NOT FOR PEANUT SENSITIVE PEOPLE!! There is a barrel filled with peanuts at the entrance to munch on at the tables; sign tells you to wipe your feet before you leave (to get the peanut shells off your feet! They're everywhere...) Sounds crazy, but it's a great place! Kid friendly.
